I'm not sure how to do this other than by adding an extra empty column at the
end. We're still working on the Conversation dialog so we may end up doing
this.

I'm not sure why GTK+ is doing this. Qt doesn't.

This might be more correctly stated "The Segoe UI representations of LEFTWARDS
ARROW (U+2190) and RIGHTWARDS ARROW (U+2192) are absolutely terrible." I
updated the titles so that all the arrows are rightward ("B → A") and added
spacing so that it's easier to read.

> If Follow Stream is done, the list is refreshed. Why?

At that point both dialogs have active tap listeners (callbacks). When the
capture file is reloaded all tap listeners are triggered and both dialogs
refresh. We might be able to temporarily disable callbacks in the Conversations
dialog while bringing up the Follow Stream dialog but I'm not sure how
convoluted that would be.
